Abstract

While named the American Professional Football Association (APFA) during 1920 and 1921 and then the National Football League (NFL) from 1922 to 1932 and thereafter, the league included eight to 22 franchises in seasons before 1933. Besides the entry of new teams, several others cancelled their operations and folded while some did not play a complete or any schedule of games in various seasons because of financial and ownership problems, and sports-related issues. In other words, the league (APFA and NFL) followed the rules of college football, had its first playoff game in 1932, declared a champion each season, and organizationally was a single group with no divisions or conferences during its initial 13 years.
